Need to change the Hardware ID for deployed PCs
My company's security policy requires each PC on the network to have a unique hardware ID. I am not talking about the SID. The hardware ID or UUID or GUID needs to be different for each and every deployed PC or this software is useless to me. Can you help, please?

You could always run sysprep on the OS before creating the master image. I ran into the same problem and this is how I worked around it. Sysprep is pretty common and works exceptionally well for redeployment.

Are you referring to the CMID or Client Machine ID. This is used by Windows KMS server among other things for activation of computers. Acronis does not change this. As a work around I perform a rearm of the windows OS after deployment. Command: slmgr /rearm
I hope this helps.

Rearm? Does that kind of do the same thing as sysprep? I read a little bit about it and it looks like it only resets the activation counter?
